First Look at the Skyrim Creation Kit and Skyrim Workshop

[Shawn Zipay]

The latest blog entry from Bethesda talks about the Creation Kit and Skyrim Workshop for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

With Skyrim Workshop, you can browse and search for the latest or highest rated mods, subscribe to any that interest you, rate your favorites and post feedback. Once you’ve subscribed to some mods, start the Skyrim launcher and you’ll see your subscribed mods automatically download. The launcher will even check if a mod has been updated and grab the latest version.

If you want to try making mods (and we think everybody should), the Creation Kit will be a free download via Steam under Tools. The Creation Kit has lots of new features, including the ability to build archives. Plus you’ll want to check out the Creation Kit Wiki, our online documentation and help file, for more details.

Of course, you’ll still be able to use popular fan-hosted mod sites like Skyrim Nexus to find great mods to play. We did not change any functionality to exclude the way mods worked previously. We even added a few features to help out — for instance, custom INI files can now be packaged into mods so you don’t need to backup your INI files anymore.

The team is also encouraging players to submit their feedback via the Skyrim forums. An official release date for both the Creation Kit and Skyrim Workshop but both are supposed to be arriving soon.
